You don't actually need a PAT to create a PR from a GitHub Actions workflow. The
GITHUB_TOKENis sufficient for PRs, with the right permissions.Actually, it depends on your setup. Most repositories won't need a PAT and can use the default token generation. However if your repository has branch protection rules for the target branch and there's some CI, this won't work. Workflows can't trigger workflows is a basic rule in GHA. This means that if GITHUB_TOKEN opens a PR, the CI won't run on it. There are several workarounds: the simplest is to have the CI on pull_request: trigger and close+reopen the PR, because it's a human doing it, the CI will run. Another option is setting up a PAT so that the automated PR creation is "done by a human". In this case GHA can't distinguish between the workflow creating the PR or you manually, so CI will run as usual.
Thanks for your feedback, that's very useful for the understanding of the term "done by human" and the GitHub token permission point of view. I'll review this to see if I could make more improvements to my repository
Thanks for confirming what I thought
You're welcome
Yes, Thank you for suggesting this point @cicirello.
I will try to use the workflow with GITHUB_TOKEN and update the latest document in my repo once it’s working fine.
I updated this one in latest release: v0.4.0.
Via this PR github.com/tungbq/repos/pull/30
Thank you again @cicirello and @ccoveille for your feedback and suggestion!
My pleasure
You're welcome
Hi thank you for the tutorial but i am getting this error do u know why it could be or if u could help me with it thanks
Thank you for your feedback @kaushal01 !
I've switched the tooling to use
GITHUB_TOKENrecently and update document on my repository, but this blog post is missing the new document.It seems that you need to grant the
GITHUB_TOKENpermission, please enable below option and re-try again.Goto:
https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_REPO/settings/actions(Repo > Setting > Action > General), in the Workflow permission section, enable following options:
I've mentioned this configuration in the section #2 in this post as well.
Thank you very much this works
You are welcome!
Interesting project thanks.
Did you build this a part of a personal challenge? Or because you find nothing else to do it?
What were the existing alternative projects you considered ? if they are any
Hi @ccoveille, thanks for your feedback.
It’s built as part of my personal idea and experience to summarize and track my favorite projects in a central repository.
I’ve searched around but have not found similar project like this yet, so I just build my own and share to everyone who interested.
And yes if you find any similar projects like this please let me know. Thanks!

I'm curious to know what @best_codes @clintonrocha98 @phalkmin think about @tungbq initiative and if you knew something equivalent or existing alternatives
